No challenge. No competition. Just folks who's hobby is plucking wings off of flies "for fun". Waste of data space.

Doesnt matter. If its red its dead. Ppl know the risk of rolling on a pvp server. Some high level asshole is going to come kill you and have fun while doing it because they take pleasure in beating other ppls face in. And there is nothing wrong with that. Last i checked in a War you kill the enemy not let them walk around. Its Alliance VS Horde out there. If you cant take it dont level in a pvp server.

There seems to be a recurring theme in which people complain about ganking in CRZ. Why don't you just roll toons on, or move to, a PVE realm? Just to be clear, I have most of my toons on a desolate PVP server where the alliance asshats would rather camp Whitepetal Lake ganking anyone who tries to run dailies than actually play PVE content themselves, so I can relate. You know who they are; they are hiding behind a tree at Halfhill targeting you right now.

I love PVP, but world PVP doesn't do much for me because it is almost never engaged in unless one side has such a lopsided advantage that you can only sit there and die. Like it or not, this is part of PVP realms.

I have a couple of toons on a high pop PVE realm, and it's much more enjoyable overall. No worries when questing, no need to get anxious when playing in contested areas, no 90's camping you in Hillsbrad. You can still do PVP any time you like.

It really strikes me as odd that so many WOW players feel like they have to play on PVP realms so they aren't viewed as wimps when they so clearly don't like any of the core aspects of PVP realms. When I started playing WOW, I rolled on the server a friend of mine played on; it happened to be a PVP realm. Had I known any better, I would have rolled PVE, and stayed there. The irony is that my friend is just as I describe; they like the idea of being on a PVP realm, but aren't situationally aware, aren't terribly good at PVP, and don't really enjoy worrying about getting ganked.

All that said, I have found CRZ to be useful a couple of times: sometimes my friends want to come to my realm to quest because it's too busy on their realm. Other times, I go to their realms so we can blast through dailies in a group I wouldn't find on my server.

From the #1 Cata review on Amazon.com: "Blizzard's greatest misstep was blaming players instead of admitting their mistakes.

Open world play across servers without loading screens is simply a WoW hater killer.

After having had the cross server play in BG's (2006) and the start of cross server play in dungeons with dungeon finder (2009) we had the same hate campaigns of the trolls.

Now in 2012: Blizzard added the open world cross server play without loading screens and it makes WOW unbeatable for the next 15 years.

Even the much used "WOW is dying" favorite hater thread can NO longer be used by them after fine tuning this open world cross server play.

Because with this open world cross server play ... in 2025 when WOW could be reduced to 200K players, it would have ... 20 times MORE players than the biggest WOW server of 2012...

I LAUGH so hard when these Blizzard haters always stand with their own feet in the XXXX.

Blizzard out smarted you guys. They always did (examples: everyone looks the same with the latest Raid gear : Transmog, ...waiting times of 2 hours to enter a BG : cross server BG's, ... no one is doing the leveling dungeons anymore : cross server dungeon finder , ... the leveling zones are dead : cross server open world play, phasing killed WOW: farmville and grow your farms///

Etc ... Etc...

Don't be fooled by the Blizzard haters: cross server open world play without loading screens just made the other fantasy MMO's obsolete with one blow on their stucked single server play with loading screens and dying popuations...

And just like the dungeon finders (2009), the cross server BG's (2006) and the phasing (2008) this latest feature will be perfected over the next few years.

You are looking at writing history here with Blizzard technology. Watch it grow further ... in their next games...

The (technology) gap just became MUCH bigger (again).

Jeez, with posts like this Im a bit concerned with your state of mind. Blizzard can look after themselves you know.

Besides not everyone likes cross realm stuff - CRZ is all about having all the draw backs of a large server population and hardly any of the benifits.

I don't even imagine what kind of satisfaction could get a group of assholes constantly ganking lowbies for several minutes, really. Real life frustation?, a need of bigger ePenis?, incompetent raiders (even for LFR)? ... who the hell knows.

I've honestly seen almost no difference in my gameplay, already was on a heavily populated pvp server. Just like before the expansion, saw almost no ganks as leveling (three different characters so far). Seems to be a few more people than usual in the lower level zones, but that's about it. The only thing I've heard from guildies is that leveling herbalism or mining is more painful than usual, with the whole sharing it with other servers thing, haven't actually done it myself though.

Or how about Blizzard cleaning up the trash that ruins the gameplay of their prime cash source -- those leveling alts?

Blizzard counts on making $120 extra for every toon you level, and you guys ganking and causing antisocial behavior is hurting their bottom line.

So how about doing something better: cancel your account as you're draining resources.

The levelers will take your spot just fine, and hopefully bring back some order in this chaos called WoW PvP.

Look at the mind of a typical PvPer. It's the typical mindset of those who don't understand what a MMO is about. They will kill community because all that matters is looking out for #1.

Your fun stops at where it ruins the fun of others.

Just like in RL, as MMO communities mimic RL.

Want a game that you can do as you please and always looking out for #1: go masturbate.

I would agree with everything here if...... IF, there wasn't a choice about this when you start. When you roll on a pvp server you have to expect this to happen.
If you don't want to deal with this happening you roll pve. Those levelers as you say have no reason being on a pvp server if all they do is level toons.

This is coming from a pve player. If you don't like random pvp don't roll a pvp server.

People are posting in this thread claiming they are "quitting WoW" and "masses will leave" if CRZ stays.

Is anyone laughing their ass off at that as much as I am? You are quitting a popular game with a whole bunch of new content on tuesday because you don't want to play with more players in an MMOrpg. Ha ha, oh man.

According to this tweet

@Ghostcrawler Mate, don't let the "rep tabard" brigade get you down. We're better off shedding instance only players from the playerbase.

@Nemspy Well, we don't want to shed anyone. Concern is that instance-only is convenient short term but causes loss of interest in the long. http://twitter.com/Ghostcrawler Nov 15/12 12:21 PM

according to Greg they don't want to shed any players. So the OP want to go to twitter call Greg out on this and say "come on Greg say what you really want to say - everyone against CRZ 'GET LOST' "

If Greg did this it would be for the better, why let these people continue to have hopes anyone cares about what some of this feature is doing to them. Do the right thing and just tell them to go, you'll be doing them a favor and likely Blizzard as well.

Not if it's giving you blinding headaches it isn't. But then those that are getting headaches should just go die somewhere right?

Before CRZ people chose to transfer/raise their alts on faction dominated servers to mininumize the ganking.

Pvp is random. Don't matter what reason you choose to play on a pvp server. You still agreed to be ok with these types of situations. If you were not ok with this happening you had no reason to play on ANY pvp server.

It was light on faction dominated realms. No point arguing otherwise. When people paid to play like that and the rug was pulled from under their feet, you bet they weren't/aren't happy.

Just another reason to tack on other reasons to dislike WoW. Enough pile on and guess what happens? They unsub.

This is why certain features r-e-a-l-l-y need to be tested on PTR and other means (e.g., in game poll), especially when changes affect how players choose (and pay) to play.

CRZ is pretty fun. Anybody who whines about either being ganked on a pvp server (lol at that reason to hate CRZ) or they have to farm for peacebloom longer (lol at that reason to hate CRZ).

Anybody who plays on a pvp server and gets ganked and then comes to the forums to complain about being ganked/camped is an idiot and needs to unsub asap. The game already has enough idiots and the WoW community would be better off with those types of players going to play solitaire instead.
